The 2024 Summer Olympics promises to be an athletic and cultural extravaganza. With Paris as the backdrop, you can take in world-class competition and then immerse yourself in the city’s history and sights. Imagine watching the decathlon, then strolling the Avenue des Champs-Élysées. But first, you need somewhere to stay.
As the games draw near, Airbnbs are a popular option for those taking in the celebration. Whether staying in the middle of the city or unwinding in the countryside, guests get to experience the country’s charm and people and live like locals. Let’s take a closer look.
